Once granted planning permission normally lasts for between 3 and five years. If the local authority refuses your application it will give you the reasons for their decision and you will then have the opportunity to amend and resubmit your application or appeal the decision.
Planning permission can enhance values before work begins and typically they will also include a number of conditions, for example the scheme must be built in accordance with the approved drawings, trees to be planted as per the landscape scheme and replaced if they die in the first few years, or the colour and finish of external materials to be approved by the Local Authority.
Once outline planning permission is obtained on your building plot, you can go to all the expense of getting full architectural drawings made up in the knowledge that, unless you depart a great deal from the outline planning permission, then detailed permission is likely to be granted. Two of the most popular additions to homes that have been used for centuries are conservatories and orangeries.
Applications for new build porches, removal of architectural details, extensions and other works materially affecting the appearance of the building including satellite dishes will be treated on their merit. The Direction is not meant to cover very minor alterations such as burglar alarms application forms are available from the council and a fee is required which can be advised on request.
When considering any external alteration it is advisable to contact your local planning officer to confirm whether or not planning permission is required.
